The rattling door as the wind whistles the calls of the crows amongst the fields shuffling feet that stirs the dirt you can't imagine the power it yields The grunts, the sighs from every mouth the clicks, the clacks on the keyboard the whine of a lonely pup I've never heard that kind of cord When the music dips and climbs and we feel the pounding bass as it stalls before the drop then, we're locked in a quiet place Then waves in the air and the quivering ground are drowned to death by shrieking sounds But what you hear comes nowhere near to the Song of Thumps that guides my world So don't pretend you feel the pounding floor the way that I do

the Song of Thumps
The rattling door as the wind whistles the calls of the crows amongst the fields shuffling feet that stirs the dirt you can't imagine the power it yields The grunts, the sighs from every mouth the clicks, the clacks on the keyboard the whine of a lonely pup I've never heard that kind of cord When the music dips and climbs and we feel the pounding bass as it stalls before the drop then, we're locked in a quiet place Then waves in the air and the quivering ground are drowned to death by shrieking sounds But what you hear comes nowhere near to the Song of Thumps that guides my world So don't pretend you feel the pounding floor the way that I do
for my partially deaf brother who can hear most of what's in front of him, and little behind. who likes to stand right beside speakers in concerts because the pounding is his favourite part
